Hi all. I have set all of my cameras to Low motion sensitivity, yet I’m still getting alerts for ambient light changes such as the clouds temporarily occluding the sun changing the lighting in the area the camera covers. It would be nice if we could see actual movement only.

Just want to add that I struggle with the same issue of localized light intensity changes triggering the motion alerts. Also want to backup and support what @ShadowCam stated.

Same issue. So many false alerts due to just light or shadow change. Los sensitivity should be LOW.

With the power of the CPU, we can’t do too much calculation per frame. We will likely stay with pixel comparison for a while. We understand the comment that there are too many false positive there. We are making improvements in V1.3 app to address some of the issues. The current plan is to introduc…

Am curious, how will the user define the trigger zone? Will there only be a single (rectangular?) zone per camera (one of my cams could make use of at least two zones)? 1-100 sensitivity scale should also be helpful. Estimated release date on V1.3 of the app? Finally, do you guys take bribes? I…

The false alerts due to light is annoying. I have mine on the lowest sensitivity setting. Is there any way to filter out the videos after-the-fact even? Not the most efficient route but would get the processing off the camera.

My problem mostly has to do with flying bugs, and this is with the alert sensitivity set to 1. I know the cameras are designed to be used indoors, but there is no denying that a major portion of your users are using them outdoors. The software could definitely filter out all motions that either mo…

My camera is indoors but it is pointed out a window.

Thanks for providing the video. We will see how we can improve our alert accuracy.

I agree that many false alarms could be eliminated if there was some way to specify a minimum duration for an alert event. Your example had one frame with the moving object (that was very close to lense).

I read that CPU might not be strong enough for vector based processing. Is that true? Pixel based processing is error prone. I’ve set my sensitivity to 1 (out of 100) and really limited my motion detection area to 15% of full screen but still get alerts when tree shadows move due to wind. Is there …

Motion sensitivity on Low still too high
